En kontorassistent ved patentkontoret i Bern offentliggjorde i 1905 fire artikler, der skulle forandre vores verdensbillede for altid. Kontorassistenten hed Albert Einstein, og tidspunktet 1905 et blevet kendt som Einsteins ‘mirakuløse år’.

Det er på baggrund af 100–året for Einsteins mirakulœse år, at Fysiklærerforeningen besluttede at udgive denne bog om ti markante begivenheder inden for fysik og astronomi i det 20. århundrede. Hvert af de ti kapitler dækker omtrent et årti, hvor der er valgt en af årtiets mest markante forskningsbegivenheder:

• Planck, Einstein og Kvantet
• Einsteins relativitetsteorier
• Atomteori og kvantemekanik
• Stjernelys, kerneenergi og et univers af brint
• De fœrste atombomber
• CERN og partikelfysikken
• Apolloprojektet – Månen tur-retur
• Computer og internet
• Kaos og fraktaler
• Forskningssatellitter – astronomernes nye vindue til Universet

The Hands-On Guide for Science Communicators (Springer New York, 2006, ISBN 0-387-26324-1) is a book which shows how to create the perfect marriage between science and communication. Drawing inspiration and examples from his years of experience in the field, Lars Lindberg Christensen from the Hubble European Space Agency Information Centre offers hands-on advice about some of the most central topics of practical popular science communication with numerous examples from physics and astronomy.

Aimed at both the general public and a more specialized audience — working as science communicators in a variety of communication offices in scientific institutions, the book provides the inspiration and the steps to become a good science communicator.

The hands-on guide offers practical advice on all aspects of science communication: product types, target groups, written communication, visual communication, validation processes, practices of efficient workflow, distribution, promotion, advertising, and much more.

The work emphasizes the value of science culture in our society as well as the need for properly qualified science communicators who are capable of addressing the needs of a rapidly progressing society where the knowledge gap between the average citizen and scientists is constantly increasing.

Hubble - 15 Years of Discovery (Springer New York, 2005, ISBN 0-387-28599-7) is a book that formed part of the European Space Agency's 15th anniversary celebration activities for the 1990 launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Its main emphasis is on the exquisite Hubble images that have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects. Hubble has provided the visual overview of the underlying astrophysical processes taking place in these objects, ranging from planets in our Solar System to galaxies in the young Universe. This book shows the close relationship between the results of great scientific value and of eye-catching beauty and artistic potential. The book published by Springer has 120 pages, measures 30 x 25 cm and is in full-colour. Some versions include a copy of the DVD. The book is authored by Lars Lindberg Christensen and Bob Fosbury. It is illustrated by Martin Kornmesser.
